A 23-year-old Pennsylvania beauty queen is in jail after allegedly faking leukemia in order to reap the benefits of fundraisers. Miss Pennsylvania US International pageant winner Brandi Lee Weaver-Gates was charged with theft by deception and receiving stolen property yesterday. Police say she received $14,000 from a bingo benefit held for her because, as the pageant sponsor put it in a Facebook post, "she was dealing with this horrible disease." The pageant sponsor is making Weaver-Gates return her crown and sash, and she is being stripped of her title. Police are asking anyone who has donated money to Weaver-Gates to come forward.

Psycopath. Let's start using the real language. Faking cancer for money? Yeah, that's a red flag which should knock you over. If you stuck her in an MRI--her hippocamus and amygdala wouldn't fire up if you threw a snake in with her. She was born with that and I am so very sorry for her but she's just doing all she's capable of like a shark or an alligator. When a shark rips someone leg's off we don't waste time wondering why that shark did that. What's the point? We know why. Same thing with her. Same thing with all the people like her--no wondering why. She's a predator to every single human she meets. But, she looks like a woman so what are you gonna do? If some lions looked exactly like a gazelle but were actually physiological lions? How would that work for all the other gazelles? The big question is why does this exist in humans? Why has it not evolved out but rather evolved more in? Personally, I think it is the one drawback to natural selection. All those plagues which wiped out so many. How many people like her do you think hung around and took care of people at their own risk? You know sharks and alligators are the oldest non-evolved from their species cause when you're perfect for what you are? Why do you need to change?
